So much better than the real thing......

The shoe bit in Arab countries is supposed to be the equivalent of the one finger salute in western countries.
In the west though it is just a funny incident that makes the perpetrator look silly.

The pie attack is more suited to our sense of drama and is probably our equivalent of the shoe toss there.

Of course it's a lot easier to smuggle in shoes than a pie to a news conference .

If the shoe attack is to be considered something dangerous then TSA will now need to ban shoes from all flights and Homeland security should immediately enact regulations for confiscating all shoes from people entering government buildings, military bases, vital national installations of industrial locations, all ports, airports, and so forth and so on......
